Who is this WinCC course for?
If you work in automation, electrical engineering, or want to move into SCADA projects, this path takes you from setting up the environment to your own WinCC V7/V8 project.

Level 10
Engineer starting with WinCC
You know automation, PLC, or HMI basics but want to enter SCADA and understand WinCC step by step.
You start with installation and the free DEMO license and finish with a working project.

Level 100
Experienced engineer / maintenance
FOR PRACTICING ENGINEERS
You work in maintenance or automation projects and need to understand WinCC V7/V8 quickly.
✅ Learn WinCC without classroom training
✅ Structure knowledge from basics to a practical project
✅ See how to build screens, alarms, trends, and archiving

Level 1
Student or growing in automation
You have theory but lack a practical project you can show in your portfolio or at a job interview.
You'll build a real SCADA application instead of another exercise without context.

Can you learn WinCC another way?
Yes. You can use documentation, YouTube, or classroom training. The difference is how long it takes to organize the knowledge and whether you build a complete project step by step along the way.
YouTube and documentation
Good for quick answers and single problems. Harder to turn into a full path: installation, DEMO license, project structure, screens, tags, alarms, trends, and archiving.
- • lots of searching between materials
- • different WinCC versions and quality levels
- • no single project from start to finish
Classroom training
A good option if your company sends you to official training. Downsides: schedule, travel, cost, and it's hard to revisit every part of the material after a few days.
- • high cost and fixed dates
- • several days away from work or home
- • material ends when training ends
This online course
You get a structured path, lifetime access, and a practical SCADA project you can return to whenever you work with WinCC.
- ✓ from installation and DEMO to a complete application
- ✓ water treatment plant project step by step
- ✓ lifetime access, business invoice, and 30-day guarantee
